This repository contains the packaging metadata for creating a ROCK of Zookeeper built from Canonical Kafka release artifacts. For more information on ROCKs, visit the rockcraft Github.

Building the ROCK

The steps outlined below are based on the assumption that you are building the ROCK with the latest LTS of Ubuntu. If you are using another version of Ubuntu or another operating system, the process may be different.

Clone Repository

git clone git@github.com:canonical/kafka-rock.git
cd kafka-rock

Installing Prerequisites

sudo snap install rockcraft --edge
sudo snap install docker
sudo snap install lxd
sudo snap install skopeo --edge --devmode

Configuring Prerequisites

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER 
sudo lxd init --auto

NOTE: You will need to open a new shell for the group change to take effect (i.e. su - $USER)
